Half moon party
Dont think i blogged this one, but me carol rich and christel went to half moon party........ So, still on koh phangan with Carol and the legend that is Ricardito. He is so because he puts up with all us girls bossing him about and is a big cuddly bear as well!
We took one of the Rubber Tree kittens (we called them Vic and Bob) - there are the 2 smaller tabbies that are a tad sickly. Vic had a bunged up bottom and all his poo had collected into a massive lump at his rear end. I assisted Por to try to get out all the crap, including a couple of enemas and manipulating his colon and stuff, it was a very smelly process and i have to mention that i got squirted with poo all over me. one of my best jobs eh! the flies were all over it! gross burger i know, but i did clear a lot of poo from the op table. (this was the day before the fire).
Sadly, it happened again and we had to put Vic to sleep.
So, comes the 12 August (HB mom), and the mighty Kitster arrives for a holiday. The 4 of us move into Coco Gardens for 6 days. This is
weird cus ive never been an official guest at coco, just a hanger on at the bar haha! I shared a nice bungalow with Kit while she was there, she booked air con, wot a treat. So for 6 days we chilled at the beach, at the Charm bungalows pool (where some crazy boys asked us to make "funny jumping pictures" with them) - this was pretty good fun. We took lots of pics of us all jumping in the pool together.
Had some brill nights at coco beach bar - AD is there without Lee at the mo, Lee is back in Jersey for 3 months, i missed him being at coco but AD was on top form and had us in stitches with his travel stories. I really would like to backpack with him! we had some all nighters and spent a lot of time at coco having a brill time, also we had a half moon party which was a good one.
There were some nice guests at coco with us and we made a few more friends. Specially Christine and Chris were there from Birmingham, so we got on pretty well!

Full Moon Party arrives! yippeee, my fave rave. So we ate at coco and started our night at coco bar. There were some great people there and we were all having a larf, we got some luminous paint (well, actually, some other guests got the paint and we snaffled it), so we painted ourselves up a bit. Chris and I painted skeleton hands on each other and all up me arms and legs and it was rather fun. we did some shots to prepare for the debacle of full moon party. i think we managed to leave around midnight, AD got us a taxi and i have to say it was VERY overloaded. god, those haad rin hills are scary with an overloaded taxi, its always a gamble as to whether you will get there alive! after a hairy ride we got to full moon. We tried to stay together but we ended up in splinter groups as usual after a while. We started at Joy bar, danced a lot and met up with Christel, some other phanganers were there, the jumunjy guys, Graham gold, ollie and various others. We managed to stay together til we went down
to the beach. me chris and christine found ourselves jumping around to drum and bass and we lost carol, rich and kit and sheen. but it was mayhem on the beach and so we had a few buckets and joined in. chris did some fire skipping rope but i didnt really see it cus i wandered off, then miraculously found christine and chris again a bit later!
partied all night long, christine and i got the devil in us and rustled a pair of flip flops in the sand, we had them away cus i have had every pair of flippers i bought stolen at haad rin over the last year, and so i wanted payback. we then got really naughty and went around the beach shaking passed out men to wake them up and asking them if they wanted to buy us drinks. cant believe than none of them said yes! stingy arses.
a bit later we lost christine (she went off to 7 11 and didnt come back!) but it was ok cus she found carol, kit and rich - so me and chris suddenly realised the sun had come up and were laughing at all
the passed out people and general carnage that is full moon party. we finally left around 9am to go back to coco.

Me, Carol, Rich and Kit-meister went up north to stay at Bottle beach for a couple of nights. you have to get a boat around to the north end of the island, there is a 2 hour jungle trek (i did before with jeff), but apart from that you have to get a boat there. its really beautiful and a good nightlife there too. we found a brilliant new bungalow for only 600 baht between us a night! so we could all kip in together - bargain. we had a brill time, we chilled out on the beach by day and chilled out on the beach by night! there were some nice bars and a couple of beach restaurants and films showing. There were fire pits and fireworks on the beach by night, and we discovered the joys of gin and tonic BUCKETS!!! after a couple of buckets me and carol went flip flop rustling, i cannot condone our behaviour, and can only say that it was preceded by a year's worth of thievery
from my own flipper wardrobe and poor old ricardito had an expensive pair of diesel flippers nicked and this made us feel somewhat better.

back to coco for for kits final night. AD was a star and put us on a special bbq as we were all leaving the next day, it was yummy and Ash, sheen and Christel came over too. We had drinks at coco bar and then later all of us went off up the road to a girly bar called Jeni's Bar. We played pool and danced with the bar girls.
Very very sad to see kit leave, and to leave carol and rich and the jumuny guys. (who are kindly storing some of my stuff for me while i waltz off around malaysia again).
